LibEd @ Priory

LibEd at St Dominic’s Priory

LibEd is short for “Liberal Education”, the type of learning for which Newman called. It gives us a chance, in a space free from a definite syllabus and a desire to examine, to learn something about what it means to be human. And, maybe it will push us a little to think beyond our limitations toward a life that is true, good and beautiful. It helps us to become more civilized, but more than this: it could help our expanding minds and hearts to make more room for God, Who has imprinted His nature on all of creation. This is a 30-minute elective where pupils learn non-examinable lessons: Art, Music Appreciation, Knitting, Dioramas and many more options.

This 10 week session forms part of the LibEd Program Suggested by Fr Grant James C.O., Principal of St Dominic’s Priory.
